I am an orthopedic surgeon during the day, but a Warriors fan 24/7. As we all suffered through a taxing 2020, the possibility of finally seeing Steph, Klay, and Draymond back together on the court was tantalizing. But then the unthinkable happened: reports surfaced that Klay had suffered a lower leg injury that was deemed serious. A momentary sigh of relief came when many of us learned it was not on the same leg that he had undergone anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery. Yet, that glimmer of hope was crushed when it was confirmed he had suffered an Achilles tendon rupture.
